211 GLASGOW SCHOOL WHITE METAL AND ENAMELLED PENDANT, CIRCA 1900 of slender tapering form chased with a design of opposed peacocks perched on a stylised tree with green enamel panels and set with turquoise cabochon stones, with corresponding heart-shaped pendant drops 11cm long, with drop 17cm long Literature: Vallance, Aymer, Mourey, Gabriel, et al ‘Art Nouveau Jewellery & Fans’, p. 87 illus. pictured right. Burkhauser, Jude (edit.) ‘Glasgow Girls’, Edinburgh 1990, p. 179, fig. 241 and 242 Note: This pendant in its form and execution demonstrates awareness of the symbolist jewellery being produced in Glasgow at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, especially by Francis and Margaret Macdonald. The known work of the sisters is mainly figurative rather than in this example which shows opposed birds, a motif more commonly associated with artists such as Talwin Morris.
£2,000-3,000
